    Just a tip because I use my cast iron all the time. Avocado or grape seed oil is best when using a cast iron because it can take the high heat. Love you girl!

    For that cleanup with the cheese in the instant pot, I find that I have the best luck if I remove the insert from the pot right after every is mixed so it doesn't continue to cook from the residual heat. Then once I transfer leftovers, I let it soak overnight in hot soapy water. It usually cleans right up after a good soak, but if there's any stubborn bits, a scrub brush and some Barkeeper's Friend cleaner (I use the powder, I was able to find a small can at my local Dollar Tree) takes anything left right off! I always wash the insert again after using Barkeeper's Friend because I get worried about chemicals being left behind. Hope this helps! New subscriber, I love your what's for dinner videos!

    • @LP19903

      Also add hot water to the pot and reheat the insert for like a min so you end up steaming the cheese off the side don’t know if that work

    A tip for removing caked on cheese, sauces, or whatever is hard to wash out of your pots and pans: Throw a used dryer sheet in it and add water up to the highest point of whatever is stuck on the sides. It doesn’t have to sit very long and then you can use the wet dryer sheet to scrape the stuff off. Comes right off every time! (And who doesn’t have a spare used dryer sheet floating around their laundry room?)

    Kristin, I really enjoyed this video, as I always do. You gave me some really good ideas on what to cook for dinner! For cleaning my instant pot pressure cooker when I am done cooking my food and I see there is some baked on food on the bottom of my instant pot dish and it does not come off even if I scrub it. I put some white vinegar and water and I leave it soak in there for about 30 minutes or less (I usually put a lid on it or something to cover it in case you don't like the smell of white vinegar) Then I dump it out and wipe it with a dish rag and it is sparkling clean! It works like magic. You don't need to scrub and vinegar is natural cleaning. I have not used it on baked on cheese but I have used it from when I had cooked meat and it is baked on the bottom of my pan and it worked perfectly. It is worth a try.

    I am not sure if anyone has already mentioned this but I use baking soda to clean off stuck on food. I learned this tip from Clean My Space and it really works. Just sprinkle baking soda in the empty pot/pan (maybe 1-2 tablespoons), add a little dish soap,fill with hot water, and allow to soak for at least 30 minutes but the longer the better. It has worked on everything I have used it on and I've been using this method for several years now.

    I read somewhere along time ago instead of using hot water to scrub it out cheese from a pan, use cold water instead. It actually gets the cheese easier to remove from the pan. Also when using bagged cheese it has a preservative that makes it really stringy. It’s best if you shred your own.
